Reformed Hippie

According to a dubious report from ABCNews blog site… Condoleezza Rice is courting the VP position from McCain. This blog entry is based on some interpretation by Dan Senor of Rice unexpectedly appearing at a weekly meeting of the conservative Americans for Tax Reform.

The reason I call this report dubious is (1) Senor is stretching the appearance of Rice at this conservative meeting and (2) I don’t think Rice wants anything else to do with politics once Bush leaves office… she has had enough and does not want to undergo the scrutiny of the media and special interest groups if she was to run with McCain.

McCain would not want Rice as VP since he needs make a clean break from the Bush administration. While I believe that Rice could “shift gears” as it were into the McCain presidency I don’t think Americans will buy it… she is inextricably linked with the failed policies of Bush.

Probably much ado about nothing.
